Locale-Sensitive C/C++ String Operation Function

double atof(const char* string);

double _wtof(const wchar_t* string);

double _tstof(const TCHAR* string);

double _ttof(const TCHAR* string);

The atof function converts string into a double, using the LC_NUMERIC category setting of the current locale.

_wtof is supported only on Windows platforms and is the wide character version of atof, converting a wide-character string into an integer.

_tstof and _ttof are Windows-only Generic versions of the function.

Use the appropriate version of the function as required for internationalization support, noting the following:

For ANSI UTF-8, atof is considered obsolete and strtod should be called instead.

For ANSI UTF-16, use wcstod.

Ensure that the current locale is set properly.

*If you're already using the recommended function, see I18n Issues for other reasons why Globalyzer is detecting the function.
